They're selling it--and Arkady--to the highest bidder. As the auction heats up, the Artificial Life Emancipation Front sends in Major Catherine Li.

But while they have their own conflicting loyalties to contend with, together they're just one player in a mysterious high-stakes game....From the Trade Paperback edition.
